In speaking to a number of people in a given day I seem to hear a recurring theme regarding economic woes, aside from that of Wall Street. My question to all of you is, has it affected your ability or will to fly? If so, how? If not, why not?

I can say honestly that this economic turn has little or no effect on my flying. I have flown more than 300 hours in 2008 and intend on even more for 2009. Also, I have just purchased a Powerflow system for our Mooney that we will install in early 2009. I'm really looking forward to the increased performance I already know I will get as a result.
